Personal rocket pack

This isn’t exactly woodworking; in fact, there isn’t a sliver of wood anywhere on this project, but I’m still pretty pleased with the way it turned out. A couple of years ago, my nephew, then 6, asked me if I could build him a rocket pack. Somehow, he has this idea that I can “do things”, so naturally, I said yes. It’s PVC pipe, two drinking cups (the nozzles), a set of nylon belts, foil HVAC tape and Krylon.

Great Job! To me, one of the great satisfactions in life is tackling things that you haven’t done before – especially where it helps someone else. Although “helps” might not be quite the right word in this inststance, it’s pretty clear that you have a satisfied “customer”
